Michigan drivers have until Friday, Dec. 11, to renew their licenses and vehicle registrations after two bills sponsored by Rep. Mike Mueller (R-Linden) recently became law, extending the deadlines.
House Bills 5756 and 5757 permit anyone whose license or vehicle registration expired after March 1 of this year to remain legal through Dec. 11.
Mueller said the measure was necessary because some Michigan drivers were unable to complete renewals during the pandemic due to state offices being overwhelmed, according to the Michigan House Republicans website.

“With all of the financial, emotional and physical challenges the people of Michigan have endured this year, they shouldn’t also be forced to pay late fees or penalties because they have been unable to renew their licenses or registrations by no fault of their own,” Mueller, a former Livingston County sheriff’s deputy, told Michigan House Republicans. “People throughout Michigan have voiced concerns to me and to my colleagues in the Legislature about license and registration renewals. This extension offers needed peace of mind for Michigan residents and clarity for law enforcement.”
